xfoodxobsessedx asked: How do you deal when you know you’re being irrationally jealous? @ Your muses

"Jealousy? Well, I can't say I've ever really THOUGHT about it..." Bite of her lip and Caitlyn's gaze turned to the floor, lost in thought, her lips pouting, crumpling, TWISTING, as her eye lidded on reflex. "Hmph. Well, I suppose I would handle it just as negatively as anyone else. I'd confront the object of my jealous DIRECTLY, and depending on how they react, I'd either cut ties, get drunk, cry in the shower, or we'd reach an understanding." She'd only ever CRIED over five people in the ENTIRE HISTORY of her life. Her mother and father, Jayce, Vi, and the death of Sheriff Grayson. And only TWO of those had her crying or infuriated or hurt in the shower. Her HUSBAND, and her PARTNER. "As far as Makoto goes..." Lips parted to speak before she kind of groaned and sighed. "I guess we'll just have to WAIT AND SEE..." She took a breath, wetting her lips and leaning back against her chair. "There's a lot I never knew about that girl. More than a few rumors that worry me. I'd like to think we'd REACH AN UNDERSTANDING, but she seems to ahve her own skeletons in her own fair share of closets. She has no small amount of emotional stake in far too many people. I FEAR having to find out whether her stake in those people is greater than her stake in me..." She fell quiet at that...

"J-Jealousy? What, what do I look like? An INSANE person? Heh. Heh. Heh." Jinx avoided eye contact, body twitching, moving, restless, UNABLE TO STAY IN ONE PLACE, she fiddled, first with her braids then with her tattoos then with some SCRAP METAL she grabbed from a bench a little too far out of her reach. "Heh." She waved the shrapnel RECKLESSLY as she continued her monologue. "Sure I STALKED my own sister and psychopathically tested her commitment to CAITLYN, and ULTIMATELY, I did kinda kidnap them both AND my adoptive father..." She continued flitting the shrapnel mindlessly through the air until her eyes caught on it. Not so much that she was easily distractible, which, don't get her wrong, she WAS, but in this case she was subconsciously SEEKING a distraction. Talk of her sister, of Caitlyn, of Silco, they always... GOT UNDER HER SKIN so much. "Oh, shut up, I was getting to that!"

She began to play more obsessively with the shrapnel, flying it through the air, jettisoning toward her own eye. "And like HE said..." She flashed a glared toward a robot she'd handcrafted of her adoptive brother. "I DID make them fight to prove their unconditional love for ME and ONLY ME..." A sudden out burst had her flinging the sharpnel across the room, IMPALING her brother's puppet. "I SAID SHUT UP AND LET ME TALK!!" The puppet juddered back before falling forward, slipping from the couch and crashing to the steel below. "I-I-I-... A-As I was saying, I did ALSO promise to... Uhh... completelysacrificeeverythingIamnowandgobacktobeinga GOOD. LITTLE. GIRL. if my sister would just put one between the eyes of that STOOPID COP..." With a breath, Jinx seemed to COME BACK DOWN so to speak, putting all those unstable emotions BEHIND HER. "But... JEAOUSY? That's just CRAZY TALK!!" Pause and brow furrow. "Hey, who's even asking anyway?"
